Description

After the step

python setup_env.py -md models/BitNet-b1.58-2B-4T -q i2_s1

I see by htop and Activity Monitor that the CPU cores are barely busy.

How can I start a build to use all CPU cores?

Research direction

Start with the setup_env.py entry point and the command shown for models/BitNet-b1.58-2B-4T with quantization i2_s1. Check how the build is configured and compare its CPU usage with htop or Activity Monitor. Done means documenting or correcting the supported way to build using all CPU cores.
